‘Now we are not only playing them but people are expecting us to beat them. Any blame that is given towards the team is taken as a collective.'

And we wonder why their fans are deluded..........

It is beyond a joke now.

He defies parody.

Which "people" were "expecting" them to "beat" Madrid?

I know lifelong Kopites who went there thinking they had no chance.

Rush: "The fans are some of the most patient but Balotelli has to realise that he's playing for Liverpool and not just any other club."

And there you have it.

Ludicrous sense of superiority. Arrogant in the extreme.

Dear LFC - you are a football club and that's it.

The only thing that sets you apart is the freakish insanity of your fan base.

Get over yourselves.

Everyone hates you.

But he's right. He's playing for a club that when a player is accused of racism prints t-shirts of support; a club with fans that use 'five times' to mock a team that's won double the amount; a club with a captain who has no forehead and whose head generally is shaped at right angles; a club whose manager is literally indistinguishable, verbally, from a decade-plus old parody of a middle-management boss with delusions of grandeur, and physically indistinguishable from the result of a drunken night of unprotected sex between Janice Battersby and a blow fish; a club whose fans are so patient they burn a players shirt before he's left for somebody better then pretend they didn't do it when he stays, only to salvage the charred remains from the bin to burn again the following year when he actually leaves; a club who push through CPOs to kick life-long residents out of their homes; a club who push through brick walls and pretend they didn't; and a club who feed African orphans into John Alderidge's fat mouth, thus simultaneously keeping him alive and spreading Ebola.

Balotelli needs to pay some respect.

I do genuinely believe there is a witch hunt against Balotelli by the club itself. It covers over the very real cracks that blight them.

I don't think 6 games had been played before Rodgers singled out the performance/s of his 'franchise' signing. Terrible man management that.

Against QPR you could see his teammates having a go at him verbally and by virtue of body language - despite it being their own poor play which resulted in loss of possession/wasted opportunities at times.

The swapping of shirts at half time (which is something I don't like to see) has resulted in a wonderful opportunity to make him a scapegoat to hide the faults of the manager and poor performances of expensive players.

Their sycophants in the media seemed to have a lot of ammunition from the moment it happened with which to fire at him.

It seems a bit short sighted to me. He is on a fairly long contract being paid high wages. What do they think will happen? To me the 'best' case scenario for them is him being loaned out with his parent club paying most of his wages. Not good for the net spend/FFP that.

Hopefully he lingers around like a bad smell causing them all manner of problems off the field.

Spot on, he on the verge of being bullied by the fans, players, he an easy scrapegoat.

Something strange went on with Remy and they seemed to just press the panic button thereafter.

All told, when you consider he spent £130M in the summer and lost a world class striker, you have to say it was the most pathetic transfer window from Rodgers: he tries to solve the attacking vacuum left by Suarez by bringing in Lambert (who he then went onto underline at every moment would be a bench warmer); then he failed to woo a number of class attackers they were going for, then they get and lose Remy.

In that context I actually believe Balotelli was one of those decisions taken over the head of the manager because he'd been hopeless trying to do it himself.
